Chapter 1315 A Paper Tiger Named Mezcal and a Fly Named Gin
As the core of the Noah's Ark plan, the 19th floor can only be put into use secretly. The time chosen by Nobushige was very interesting. At this time, there were almost no staff on the 19th floor. When you walked in, you could only hear the roar of machines.
At the foot is a narrow corridor, with rows of white metal devices resembling silkworm cocoons standing on both sides. The outer parts of the devices are covered with transparent glass, making it easier for people outside to monitor the situation inside the cocoons.
These devices are very similar to the "cocoon" developed by Sindora Company, but there are great differences. For example, these devices are filled with a liquid, and there are many professional data on the LCD screen next to them.
Compared to a game warehouse, this place is more like a terrifying human experiment base.
However, Nobushige knows that these experiments have been certified long ago. The people now lying in these cocoons have accepted the organization's Noah's Ark plan and willingly separated from their consciousness and become immortal bodies.
It's still scary...
Nobuhiro sighed secretly in his heart.
Even without the responsibility on his shoulders and the will in his heart, he himself would not accept the Noah's Ark plan.
So what if the human lifespan is only a few decades? As long as you live your life well every day and have a clear conscience, that's enough. Throw away all the dignity and characteristics of being a human being, and only seek the eternal life of the spirit. It is even difficult to say whether the "spirit" is the real spirit. What is the meaning of such a future?
"Have you found it?" Rum's indifferent voice came from the headphones he quietly put on at some point.
"There are at least four to five hundred devices here that look exactly the same. How can it be so fast? Besides, you didn't even tell me who you were looking for, so of course the efficiency will be low." Nobuhiro said as he shuttled between them.
"That person's situation is different. It should be easy to distinguish."
"That person?" Xinfan pretended not to understand.
Well, he really didn't know who Rum was talking about. However, based on what he had learned from Dr. Agasa before, Nobuhiro could roughly guess what Rum wanted him to do.
"You don't need to know who that person is, you just need to turn off the life support equipment after you find it."
From Rum's words, Nobuhiro had a little doubt.
Rum's attitude towards him now seems to be much kinder. There is no threat, no ridicule, no blow. They are just like a normal superior-subordinate relationship, and his life is not in Rum's hands.
This situation is unusual, and anything unusual deserves Xinfan's attention.
After all, if Xing Er takes any wrong step, the consequences for him, no, it should be said for humans, are extremely terrifying.
But all Nobuhiro had to do now was find that person and turn off the life support equipment.
Relying on Rum's reminder of "life support equipment", Nobuhiro quickly found a distinctive anomaly in a row of seemingly inconspicuous devices.
When he saw the person lying quietly inside through the glass, Nobuhiro no longer had any hesitation in his heart.
Sure enough, it was her.
Rum probably didn't know that Nobuhiro had ever seen that person's photo, not to mention that no matter how advanced the equipment was, it couldn't keep a person who had been dead for many years looking like he was alive. Nobuhiro was able to recognize Tadako Agasa because of his unchangeable skeletal features.
Fortunately, he had learned how to disguise himself and had a deeper understanding of the human skeleton than ordinary people.
Thinking of what Rum asked him to do, Nobuhiro pretended to look around, and then said to the person on the other side of the headset: "This is not a life support device, it is an anti-corrosion device. That person is already dead."
Nobushige even suspected that the person lying in this "cocoon" was not the real Tadako Agasa.
Would Agasurisuke abandon the person he valued so much here casually?
Even he, a person who does not exist in the organization at all, can enter the 19th floor with a so-called president's permission. This is by no means a safe place for Agasa Tadako. There should be a better place for BOSS to provide Tadako Agasa.
"It doesn't matter." Rum's tone became even more indifferent, "Do as I say."
"All right."
Nobushige raised his hand and cut off the cocoon's power supply in an understatement, which naturally included the anti-corrosion equipment that Agasashiko relied on to maintain the status quo.
His actions were very decisive, consistent with the appearance that the identities of Arisuke Agasa and Tadako Agasa were currently unknown.
The bright blue lights around A Li's stator seemed to flicker, but neither the device itself nor the equipment seemed to be affected in any way.
Nobuhiro flipped the power switch twice more without giving up, but the result was the same.
At this time, Rum also guessed what happened: "What? Can't it be turned off?"
"Yes, the quality is so good that even the switch is useless." Nobuhiro said half-statement and half-sarcastically.
"You retreat." Rum said calmly.
Nobuhiro raised his eyebrows: "Then today's action is meaningless?"
"The security team will arrive at the scene in about three minutes, leaving you little time to escape." Rum's tone remained calm, "Once today's behavior is discovered, even if you are Mescal, you will definitely die."
"Oh, I almost forgot, you can't die yet." Rum suddenly laughed again, "But there are many more ways to make your life worse than death."
"whispering sound!"
Nobuhiro curled his lips angrily, but the movements of his feet didn't even pause at all.
He is already very familiar with the TENSE Building, but the more familiar he is, the less likely he is to reveal any flaws. For this reason, Nobuhiro did not hesitate to sacrifice precious escape time and took some detours to give the illusion that he was not familiar with the terrain.
Five minutes later - Nobuhiro was lying on the sofa in his office with a lifeless look on his face. At the same time, the piercing alarm sounded throughout the TENSE building.
"President! President!"
His little secretary rarely showed such a gloomy side, but at this time, the secretary who always seemed to remain calm even when the mountain collapsed seemed a little flustered.
"What are you so worried about?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the expression on Xinfan's face suddenly became a little strange.
He seems a bit like the villain in a TV series now. The protagonist is about to defeat the villain, but the villain doesn't realize anything yet.
The secretary had no idea what weird things were going on in her boss's head. She was just a little shocked when she saw Asano Nobushige lying on the sofa without any image.
"President, something big has happened. An outsider broke into the 19th floor just now, and now the entire security department is looking for that person." The secretary patiently explained to Nobushige.
Nobuhiro raised his eyebrows and said in confusion: "The security level on the 19th floor is the highest in the entire building. Who can break in and escape safely?"
"Yeah, I don't quite understand it either. It stands to reason that anyone entering the nineteenth floor must obtain permission from you or the senior management of the headquarters..."
"Bang bang bang."
Before the secretary could finish her words, there was a knock on the wooden door of the office.
"President! We have something very urgent to report to you!"
The cold voice of the person in charge of the security department came from outside the door.
The security department is a very special existence in the TENSE Group. Normal employees are afraid of them, and they do not seem to be under the direct management of Asano Nobushige, the nominal leader.
The knock on the door rang several more times.
Nobushige slowly sat up from the sofa, and then slowly arranged his clothes and tie.
The secretary was watching anxiously, but she couldn't rush him.
A moment later, just when the person in charge of the security department was about to push the door open, Nobuhiro's voice finally came out: "Come in."
The person in charge breathed a heartfelt sigh of relief, quickly opened the door and walked in.
The security department is tyrannical in the TENSE Group and is fearless. This confidence comes from their status. Each of them has the ability to become an inner member of the organization and even obtain a code name, and the person in charge himself is considered a code member without a code name.
But no matter how powerful they are, they don't dare to act arrogantly in front of the president, Asano Nobushige.
After all, he was the most prestigious Mezcal in the organization, and this code name hung heavily on their heads, making it difficult for them to breathe.
When the person in charge came in, Nobushige was already sitting behind his desk. Except for his somewhat lazy expression, he looked no different from President Asano under normal circumstances.
The person in charge nodded respectfully to him, and then said: "Someone broke into the 19th floor, and the person tried to destroy the devices inside. We have sealed off the entire building, and not a single fly can enter or exit."
"Yes." Nobufan replied without energy, "Well done."
So good that you can’t even recognize the culprit sitting right in front of you.
To be honest, if Gin or Belmode were in charge of this matter, they might be able to find the unnatural marks on Mescal's neck - those were left by the disguise.
What's more, Nobushige didn't even change his clothes, he just took off his coat.
The person in charge was a little unsure about Mescal's attitude for a while.
What does it mean to praise them for a job well done? Shouldn't he be assigning tasks to them now, or at least actively cooperating with the security department?
Xinfan glanced at him lazily: "What? Is there anything else?"
"No, no more." Facing those eyes as deep as a deep pool, the person in charge said subconsciously.
However, half a second later, he reacted and wanted to slap himself.
After suffering an unbearable psychological blow, Nobuhiro's state was inevitably affected. It's just that he had suppressed his true emotions under his rationality before and did not show them. After successfully joining forces with Rei Fukiya, Matsuda and his brother, the sudden release of pressure made his Nirvana-like transformation become deeper and sharper.
Nobuhiro waved his hand casually and said, "Since there's nothing else, you can go out."
The person in charge reacted and said quickly: "Actually, that person did not break into the 19th floor. He had the permission document issued by you!"
After saying this, he himself breathed a sigh of relief.
"Oh?" Nobumangi finally became interested, "Where are the documents? Let me take a look."
"No, I didn't accept it." The person in charge's face turned green.
"Didn't you accept it?" Xinfan's voice suddenly increased, and he was full of momentum and pressure. "Have you swallowed up all the company's rules and regulations? You can't even see the clearly written words?"
Outside the office door, a pair of polished leather shoes stopped.
"If you don't know Japanese, go to elementary school and relearn it. If that person can get my permission, whether it is forged or not, there must be something wrong within us. Can you let go of important evidence?!"
Tsk, Mezcal seems to be a bit more violent today.
Who provoked him again?
In fact, Nobushige is just a paper tiger now. After all, the document that can be used as evidence is lying in his pants pocket.
However, Nobushige had already guessed Rum's plan, and he had no hope that he could successfully destroy Agasa's stator device today. You should be doing this just to alert others, right? Or should I say... lure the snake out of its hole.
Like Nobushige, Rum was not sure whether the person on the 19th floor of the TENSE Building was Tadako Agasa. If Karasuma Renya doesn't move, they may never know for sure. Therefore, some extreme methods must be used to force Karasuma Renye to take action. The best way is to directly target Agasa Tadako.
With the importance Renya Karasuma attaches to Tadako Agasa, no matter whether it is true or not, he cannot sit still and wait for death.
Rum intends to force Karasuma Renye, and his plan cannot be hidden from Karasuma Renye, who is in control of the overall situation. In this case, the secret jabs from both sides are actually equivalent to being exposed to the sun.
Renye Karasuma certainly knew that the bold guy who was able to get the Mezcal warrant and broke into the 19th floor was from Rum. He may not necessarily doubt Mezcal, but he would definitely have concerns about the internal environment of the TENSE Group.
In this case, he will not let the security department seriously investigate the identity of a pawn, but will only find ways to protect the safety of Tadako Agasa.
This is also the reason why Shinfan can be so arrogant.
"Bang bang bang."
There was a knock on the office door suddenly.
"Who?" Xinfan asked in a bad tone without restraining his sharp edge.
Outside the door, Gin's expression was slightly ugly, but he still said coldly: "It's me."
Gin's voice is so unique that it's hard not to hear it.
It's a pity that Nobushige can't let him in now. He is full of flaws. Appearing in front of Gin now is tantamount to throwing himself into a trap.
So Nobuhiro deliberately pretended to be still angry. Instead of calming down, he became even more arrogant: "Didn't you say that the building has been completely sealed off? Didn't you say that not even a fly can enter or exit? Tell me, what's going on with that guy outside? thing!!"
Gin: "..."
The blue veins popping up on his forehead could no longer represent his anger. He felt that his Beretta was getting hot and the bullet could be discharged at any time.
Good, good, mezcal. How dare you compare him to a fly!
At this time, the person in charge no longer had the previous momentum under Mescal, and was even a little fearful.
After all, no matter how powerful the "code member without a code name" is, he is just a vodka, and there is no comparison with a high-level executive like Mescal who has just entered the organization and is at the level of regional director.
It can be said that the starting point of Nobuhiro is the end point that others want to reach even if they are struggling.
"Get out! Don't bother me with your trash!"
Nobushige drove the head of the security department out without ceremony, but he didn't realize that the "trash" in this sentence also accidentally included a certain person.
